Any sign that the economy is showing a sustained recovery - rather than a transient blip = is to be welcomed.
What we can never know is whether the economy would have shown signs of a sustained recovery earlier, had we followed a slightly different course, one of targeted austerity.
What we currently have is a fragile recovery, an effective downgrade of standard of living for many within the country, wages still lagging behind inflation, the suspicion that many of the "jobs" that have been created are part time, zero hour contract based, or paid barely above minimum wage, an economy still too heavily reliant upon the housing/building sector and consumer spending and borrowing,and swingeing cuts in infrastructure projects that may have led us out of recession and into growth sooner.
Not at all sure there is too much to celebrate just yet...
